Elements:
A pure substance containing only one kind of ____________.
An element is always uniform all the way through (homogeneous).
An element _____________ be separated into simpler materials (except during nuclear
reactions).
Over 100 existing elements are listed and classified on the ____________________.
Compounds:
A pure substance containing two or more kinds of _______________.
The atoms are _________________ combined in some way. Often times (but not always)
they come together to form groups of atoms called molecules.
A compound is always homogeneous (uniform).
Compounds ___________________ be separated by physical means. Separating a
compound requires a chemical reaction.
The properties of a compound are usually different than the properties of the elements
it contains.
Mixtures:
Two or more ________________ or _________________ NOT chemically combined.
No reaction between substances.
Mixtures can be uniform (called ________________________) and are known as
solutions.
Mixtures can also be non-uniform (called ________________________).
Mixtures can be separated into their components by chemical or physical means.
The properties of a mixture are similar to the properties of its components.
Part 2: Classify each of the following as elements (E), compounds (C) or Mixtures (M). Write
the letter X if it is none of these.
A B C D E
___1. Pure Element – only one type of atom present.
Part 4: Column A lists a substance. In Column B, list whether the substance is an element (E),
a compound (C), a Heterogeneous Mixture (HM), or a Solution (S). (Remember a solution is a
homogeneous mixture.) In Column C, list TWO physical properties of the substance.
